Well, she had problems with the first machine she tried with some digits not coming up, so she moved on to another machine. This also had problems with the screen/keyboard and it took several attempts to type in the registration. She paid, put the ticket in her purse and went off to do her shopping.
You guessed it, a parking ticket was on her windscreen on her return. She checked the ticket that was in her purse and noticed one digit wrong on the registration.
So where do we stand? Technically she entered incorrect information, however she has proof that she purchased a ticket. Has anyone had successes appealing in this sort of situation, or is it like arguing with a brick wall and not worth the hassle
I had a similar situation recently I like you sort advice from this forum.however I decided to save myself months of uncertainancy and paid up.For me it was the best option

If it's a council ticket theres not much can be done just an appeal, private parking is a different beast..most councils have adopted
decrimilisation so we lost the right to a trial.
